Bossier parish sheriff's office Larry Deen denied access to prescibed meds and diabetes test kit/ proper food benton, Louisiana

7th of Oct, 2011 by User543355

I was arrested on September 29, 2011 by the Bossier City, LA Police Department and denied access to my medication for my arthritic knees and my diabetes test kit. There was no intake assessment performed while I was in the custody of the BCPD nor did I see a health care professional when I was transported to the Bossier Parish maximum security facility. I was denied the proper food( I control my condition with food only and have my doctor's blessing to do so), denied access to my test kit( the officers at both facilities found my test kit in my backpack) and was taunted by one of the BCPD officers with regard to my condition. I spent more than 48 hours in custody and have had trouble since my release getting my sugar back under control. I was treated in a harsh, uncaring manner and told by the intake officer, "We'll see if you're really diabetic or not if you pass out and we have to take you to the hospital." I am appalled at the lack of concern for my very real condition and that I was treated like a scumbag. I would like for the BCPD and the parish maximum facility to have to answer to a judge for their disregard for my condition.
